Block management in Coventry
Block Management in Coventry
11 October 2026
Coventry's city centre was rebuilt after the Second World War, and many of its flats sit in post-war blocks with concrete frames, flat roofs and communal heating. Since then the city has added new apartments near the station and Friargate, conversions around the Canal Basin, and a large number of purpose-built blocks serving its two universities, while Earlsdon, Chapelfields and Stoke have Victorian and Edwardian houses converted into flats. Westbridge Block Management looks after residential blocks across Coventry, combining full block management with years of construction and renovation experience.
The Coventry buildings we look after
- Post-war blocks with flat roofs, concrete frames and ageing communal services
- New city-centre apartment buildings with lifts and access control
- Canal-side and industrial conversions
- Period houses converted into flats in Earlsdon and the surrounding suburbs
Planning for post-war buildings
Post-war blocks often reach the point where flat roofs, windows, balconies and concrete repairs all need attention within a few years of each other. We start with a proper condition survey, turn it into a long-term maintenance plan, and phase the work so the reserve fund and the service charge can support it. Section 20 consultation is planned from the outset, so leaseholders understand the works and the timetable well in advance.

Towers and large developments in Coventry
Coventry has a number of taller residential and student buildings in and around the city centre. Buildings of this size call for more than a visiting property manager, so we arrange dedicated on-site management where the development needs it, backed by our construction expertise.
- Building Safety Act duties for higher-risk buildings (18 metres or seven storeys and above), including registration, the safety case and the golden thread
- High-rise fire safety duties: secure information boxes, wayfinding signage and monthly firefighting lift and equipment checks
- Lifts, plant, communal heating and ventilation maintained to a planned schedule
- Multi-block estates with several service charge schedules, apportioned transparently
